This is one of the most amazing and comprehensive Neo-Geo MVS videos of all time! Thank-You for all your hard work and dedication! Fantastic stuff! My favorite Neo Geo game is Real Bout Fatal Fury Special! 💥💥👊💥💥
Thanks very much for watching and your support 😉
Oh and my absolute favorite game on Neo Geo is Baseball Star 2, best Baseball game EVER!!!
right now my chances of collecting are the mvs converts from japan for my aes
funny enough, my favorite was Fatal Fury: King of Fighters, my uncle owned an amusement arcade in the 90's and I loved it. great video and content! keep it up! :)
Thanks for your support, glad you enjoyed it
Your insight is spot on and will surely aid existing and especially new NeoGeo collectors. I purchased a new Analogue NeoGeo CMVS Slim when I started collecting MVS a little over 10 years ago. Back then MVS cost much less vs AES. In the last few years MVS prices have greatly increased equaling some AES and even exceeding some AES games. I learned about MVS bootlegs the hard way after buying a few when I started collecting. Luckily my losses were only a few hundred dollars resulting in my purchases requiring PCB pics only so I could verify authenticity.
The market is changing especially in the last few years. Still lots of good sources and bargains out there. Thanks for watching 😎🤜🤛
WOW the prices for Matrimelee MVS full kit are going crazy. I only paid $600 for my English kit 4 years ago. Now, I look on eBay today and there going for $1,600+ and that’s an Japanese kit.
Love this video lots of information given. 👍🏽
Yup getting very very expensive on that one
Very detailed video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. My favorite Neo Geo game is Windjammers/Flying Power Disc. I really love the fast pace of the game.
Great game, fan favourite. Thanks for watching
I own a 6 slot neo geo aussie cabinet but has Japanese 6 slot board and 3 mameui (ex dragon lair lai) cabinets.for me as long as the game works i don't care about labels conditions and if the game way too expensive i play it mameui.
i found ebay Australia pretty good i bought about 3 dozen neo geo recently they all worked and majority of them original
Found this video pretty helpful
Thanks for watching bro, glad to see another Aussie Neo fan. I had a 6 slot LAI but it was way to big for my space. If you enjoyed the content please like and subscribe it helps the channel out.
Thank you so much for the detailed neo geo collecting guide it has been an eye opener to learn how some of these games have tripled in price in recent years!
My fav game on the neo geo is puzzle bobble. me and my wife both really enjoy puzzle games and its not always easy to get her to play arcade games with me so this one is a easy win every time!
Puzzle bobble is a top tier game.
Hi Kon,
Thank you for sharing your excellent video on, The Official NEO-GEO Thread on Tuesday kind sir. This really is an excellent video that were going to certainly keep for reference and it will definitely help the members and guest. Pleased to meet you Kon. We would love to see more Neo-Geo material in the future from you and this was a great upload that you shared. I subscribed to your channel and will be looking forward on seeing more from you Kon.
Thank you again kind sir. A pleasure meet you and keep up the great work. 8^)
Anthony..
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for watching and the sub, yes definitely planning on more NeoGeo content it is my favorite platform. Stay Tuned.
Shocktroopers is my favorite MVS game and one of the first ones I picked up. I have about 10 carts now with a couple KoF and Metal Slug games. The Last Blade series is one I'm keeping an eye out for. But I always come back to Shocktroopers. Big Mama tears those bad guys up!
All excellent games bro. Shock troopers 1 is great, part 2 is a bit meh
Great video. RGB from the MVS CBOX is excellent.
It sure is!
Awesome Video !
Your SNK story and love for Neo Geo sounds so similar to mine. Walking into my local CIVIC Video Store and seeing KoF94 for the first time was transformative.
SNK is LIFE.
For me, Garou : Mark of the Wolves has to be my favourite. Its still one of the most deep and accessible fighters ever made with a banging soundtrack and awesome sprite work on those characters.
Top tier game right there my bro
Congratulations on winning the kof 94 cart. I will ping you directly for your deets to send off the cart. 🎉
Absolutely awesome !!
Thank heaps mate!
Cannot wait !
Does the cartridge color mean anything? Seems like the same game can come in multiple different colors...
not really, but the white ones are what are called "rental carts" which came out in Japan and were on loan by SNK. But yeah carts came out in mostly black, some green, some red or yellow variants in different counties. For example Garou and kof 99 is green, but kof99 can also be blue. Matrimelee USA is yellow but in Japan its green. Metal Slug 3 can also be green or black.
Awesome video my guy! ALOT of this information is a little overwhelming and appreciate you taking the time to review!
Forgot to add. Thank you for covering the shock boxes. I have been confused if those were official boxes or maybe AES boxes with mvs carts in them. Good to know they are simply reproductions as an alternative to hold your mvs games instead of the cardboard box.
Thanks very much for taking the time to post a comment. Glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to the channel.
Are all the dollar amounts described in your video in Australian dollars?
AUD
great video mate, hahah I remember those Ganryu carts on FB that looked like they had just been dug up from the sellers backyard !
I never added an irritating maze or vliner to the collection as I didnt think they were playable without dedicated hardware, but I wouldnt mind getting an Irritating maze if one ever turned up (saw the hardware kits but not the cart!).
solid advice to new collectors or experienced ones ! laters mate
The irritating maze MVS is still part of the full set, I don't care for the added hardware or trackball, it's not worth the effort. Getting the cart loose for a reasonable price is difficult. Thanks for watching!
Going to Japan soon whats the price in yen should I pay for the mvs console and each game I just don't wanna get ripped of
I wouldn't buy any consolised MVS units from Japan, MVS carts are not common unless you go to beep or aN arcade distributor. AES is common for cheap titles. Most games would most likely be cheaper than what's advertised on eBay. Buyee or Jauce is a good indicator of Japanese prices and that would be your baseline.
Can you play Irritating Maze with normal joystick???
Unibios 4 allows it from memory
Just got a neo geo cabinet. My favorite game is samurai showdown 2.
Great game bro
my favourite game is fatal fury because i used to play it as a child in my local arcade
i have many mvs games too
it is a shame people raise the prices to make a profit
They do, but there are still games that are very affordable
Liked and subscribed
I’ve only just found your channel, really enjoyed the video and looking forward to many more.
Very difficult to say which is my favourite MVS game as there are so many great titles, but I will go with Aero Fighters 2, as it’s a simple shooter that’s great fun and it’s one of a very few games that my wife will play two players with me.😂
its a great game, Video Systems are the guys that later became Psikyo and released Strikers 1945 Series, they left the MVS because they weanted a system that runs in tate not horizontal.
@@KoncadeGaming didn’t realise that was the same company, they do one of my other favourite games Zero Gunner 2 on the Sega Naomi
Great video. I'm right at the end of a MVS full set but I still need MS5, Pochi & Nyaa, Ganryu, Zupapa, Sam Sho 5 Special and Bang Bead. Not cheap games at all but I'm happy to wait for the right prices.
Good luck, not the easiest ones to get. Keep going almost there.
@@KoncadeGaming yeah, had a right mess of a Ganryu buy about 6 months back. Thought I'd been scammed and turns out the guy selling it had sent me the wrong package AND got the jail for a month. 😂
That's crazy 😧
i feel jealous hahahaha u lucky bro
Join the club, plenty of affordable neo games and lots of ways to play them
Hey man great video and really comprehensive, thanks! When you mentioned Viewpoint as a high tier of 500-600 dollars.. did you mean USD or AUD? Cheers :)
AUD but it has increased in price slightly in the last 6 months.
@@KoncadeGaming what would you say is a fair price to pay for a copy like yours in the video (black shell)?
Which game specifically buddy?
@@KoncadeGaming View Point :)
Viewpoint original loose is approx 500-600 AUD, the shockbox is approx 40 with insert. So up to 650AUD, label condition matters, with artwork complete is more plus 100, a full matching kit 1000 or more.
Great video, fabulous collection. My favourite Neo Geo game (which is a tough call) is probably Metal Slug X. Using the Metal Slug 3 game engine really helped with the slowdown suffered in MS2. Graphically an absolute treat, beautiful animations as per the series as a whole and with massive replay-ability.
Good choice!
Very helpful , Thanks
You're welcome!
Hello, I just found your channel and it's very informative. Keep up the good work. My favorite Neo Geo game so far is Metal Slug X.
Thanks for watching
Excellent to know Kon. Really looking forward on seeing more Neo-Geo content and a real pleasure to meet you sir. Been browsing around your channel and you have excellent martial to offer for the community. 8^)
Thank you for the reply kind sir. 8^)
Anthony...
Pleased to be linked-in, I know Glynn has been talking about you for years. Thanks for looking, enjoy.
My favorite Neo Geo MVS game is Metal Slug 2. Can't do better with the level design. The mummy's are so much fun to blast, and even with the slowdown, it can't be beat. A stone cold classic!!!
Awesome pity about the slowdown on 2, X is a tag of an upgrade. Thanks for watching.
Oh wow! You know Glynn. That's great to know Kon. I miss seeing his Neo Geo Love videos. But I heard he's taking care of his grandchildren these days and glad he doing so. But hopefully he will do another upload for us to enjoy again soon. 8^)
Anthony..
I've been watching his content for years and he always mentions you. But yes not many Neogeo love videos from him as of late.
Hi, I´m a new subscriber from Mexico! As you probably know we are very passionate about Neo Geo here and I must say this video is the most complete and comprehensive I´ve found for anyone interested in MVS collecting, congrats!
As far as my favorite Neo Geo MVS game right now I would say it´s Last Resort. I´m lucky to have an original cart and I love the atmosphere, backgrounds and gameplay. I already did a first loop 1cc and I´m working on the second loop in order to get the true ending :)
Welcome to the channel 😁 I absolutely know how popular Neo is in Mexico. 👌
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
That's right Kon. A few years back I donated to him a nice 3D printed Neo-Geo sign to him as a thank you for dedicating a video to celebrate the anniversary of the Neo-Geo thread. He really appreciated it and always has it on display during his Neo-Geo love videos.
The seller sadly stopped manufacturing the signs for a few years due to COVID. But now is getting on track on selling them again.
Anthony..
Very cool
KoF94. Love some good old fashioned arcade fighting! You've really perfected your hobby to a whole other level!
Thanks bro I appreciate it. Kof94 is such a groundbreaking game. Thanks for watching.
Another amazing video. Truly epic to see a complete MVS set. I can't wait to see your next video.
Thanks bro really appreciate the support for the channel. 🤜🤛
My favorite game on Neo Geo is actually Xeno Crisis. The music and gameplay are absolutely amazing in it. It's the first Neo Geo game that I've practiced enough to do a 1 credit clear. I know it's a new game, but I absolutely love it. I'm really excited for Bitmap Bureau's next release, Final Vendetta.
Yeah man both solid, I have xeno on MVS also but 1cc is a bit of a dream for me atm. Thanks for watching.
A great very informative video. I have been using MVS scans for a couple of years now and is essential.
I currently have MVS English versions of...
*Metal Slug.
*Last Blade.
* Neo Turf Masters.
* King Of Fighters 2000.
* Shock Troopers.
* Samurai Showdown.
I don't have an MVS system as yet being looking at the MVS HD which I've seen on retro RGB.
I do have an AES (Japan) in great condition just needs RGB mod and bios mod 3-6 board as it is stock and also requires a pallette ram replacement. I only have Samuari Showdown II for it as I sold some of the older titles off a while ago.
I'm not sure weather to sell the AES and put it towards my MVS hardware/software collection or buy an AES to MVS adaptor or have both???
Recently picked up KOF 2013 with offical NEO GEO snap case and artwork looking forward to receiving it.
All the best.
Love this, my philosophy is don't sell your Neogeo stuff it's too close to the heart. Most people regret it later. Your collection sounds solid. Thanks for watching glad you got some value out of it. 🤜🤛
The games I sold were a few early titles, OK condition, not mega rare so I could buy them back if needed, came with the AES as a bundle. But I'm being quite selective with what I pickup as price and space and other hobbies are the deciding factor. One of my regrets was selling a brand new copy of SNK vs Capcom SVC Chaos didn't really click with me at the time as it was later on and new hardware was coming out from other companies. Looking forward to your next video. Kind regards. NEO GEO FOREVER!@@KoncadeGaming
You already know my favourite game is Twinkle Star Sprites, great video!
Absolutely my bro, it's just a matter of time
Someday I’ll get a kof2k3 to complete my authentic kof set. 😅
Still affordable
Twinkle Star Sprites 🎉
Banger game, so much fun
@@KoncadeGaming I was torn between posting that or Magical Drop 3. Neo Geo has some of the most hype 1v1 competitive non fighting games of any console ever
My favorite game for Neo Geo is Metal Slug 3 beautiful sprite art and great game play and a sense of humor ❤
Absolutely a great title!
I wonder what these games will be worth in 20 years as the 90s generation turns 65 and the next generation will have never played these in the arcade and will have no feeling of nostalgia toward them. 🤔
Good question but people still collect stuff that's much older gaming wise these days so the same would apply.
Great video for all Neo Geo enthusiasts. Best regards from Austria!
Thanks bro 🤜🤛
This community and the Sega Saturn collector community is always fascinating to me as there are so many different things to look out for and also how expensive it is, you guys literally are investing into these games because I don't think they will ever fall in value, very cool video!
Thanks for watching the video. Yes there is the collecting aspect to this and the value of Neogeo is a bonus l, for me it's more of growing up in the peak of SNK and living though all of these releases and enjoying the arcade scene at the time. This is super nostalgia for me personally.
@@KoncadeGaming I was very fond of SNK and the MVS machines growing up as well, fighting games have always had a pull on me so when I started to notice all the variety the NEOGEO had I was all over those machines, maybe one day I'll try to get into collecting for this system
As mentioned in my guide there are a lot of games for the MVS that are still very affordable, most of the kof, samsho games are cheap and you are getting original hardware. It's a great time to get into collecting for this system. 🤜🤛
its cartrigde and old why expensive
Some are some are not, rare vs common
💖💖
😎
Wow, this is an amazing collection.
Thanks!
Is there a link to a price guide updated to 2024? All the ones I found are old and no longer updated. I have a few uncommon games in kit form. If neo store gets them they go for much higher than their master list prices.
Not that I am aware of especially for kits.
Going by what neostore buys the kits for from Japan via auctions and sells them in their store I would say 50-60% of the advertised prices on the neostore for rare kits. A good indication on kits for Japanese carts is still ypahoo auctions.
@@KoncadeGaming what would you say ms1, 2, x, 3, Bust a move again ex, strikers 1945 plus are worth in kit form? . They are English not Japanese. I have loose carts of blazing star jp, money exchanger jp with shock box, and another jp platformed called spin master. I also have large marquees for bust a move again, ms1, 2, x framed on my wall.
I would say go by this, if the title is common for example metal slug 1, and it's worth about 150usd loose in good condition a full matching kit would be approx 2x or 3x it's value. This would be close to accurate on the titles you mentioned. Check sold price listings on eBay and get an idea of the value. I do mention the above in my video as a guide.
Great video, very comprehensive. I think you covered everything that’s important to look out for when collecting MVS games.
My favorite Neo Geo Game is Fighter’s History Dynamite. Yes, it’s old and seems like nothing special, and yes Capcom sued Data East over it, but the gameplay is so tight. I play it with my good friend every time he visits me, and it’s so much fun and just so over the top!
I love that game, played it a lot in the arcade. I like Matlok and Mizoguchi they were like the Guile and Ruy equivalents. Great fighters. Yeah the lawsuit was dismissed in the end cos Capcom ripped them off first 😂
@@KoncadeGaming I think the game is super underrated. In Japan people still play it at tournament level. I could never manage to unlock the bull, could you?
can you recommend me please a nice mvs console? Price under 300$ please!
I can definitely recommend the one in my video that I use, there is a new cheaper one from Ali that is a black model with a Genesis RGB video out on the back. The one I use without the external jamma should be close to your budget.
@@KoncadeGaming which exactly is it? I mean the name? The seller?
I would go with the OMVS kit +mv1c board that's the cheapest and best quality. I covered it in my video. The Ali ones seem to be out of stock or just external jamma versions. OMVS will give you best sound and picture
@@KoncadeGaming OMVS is sold out btw
Is that case junk on AliExpress search for Xbox MVS ab
Check all that chapopote 😂
what do you mean?
@@KoncadeGaming expensive silicon you know like black gold, it’s a think we said on a Neo geo forums back in the day!
@@KoncadeGaming where did you got those cool boxes for the MVS cartridges by the way?
I like that, 😎
